The Charging Stove

Forget lugging fuel on your camping trip and support a cleaner environment with this chargeable backpacking stove.

Fusing survivalist simplicity with high-tech trickery, the BioLite CampStove is a no-liquid-required backpacking stove with a bonus: It can recharge your gadgets. Lighting tinder generates electricity, which powers a fan that not only keeps the fire humming but also provides enough power to charge devices plugged into its USB port. [$130; biolitestove.com]
